Christmas Photo Shoot
These are from the photo shoot I did with the kids just before Thanksgiving so that we could use them in our family Christmas card. All the kids except Katie wore Christmas colors. This was also the day after our most recent foster son arrived. I'm calling him "Music Man" because he loved to sing and could remember the words to a song after only hearing it once. He had a wonderful ear for music. In December, three days before Christmas, he moved in with his new potential adoptive family. The parents are really great people. Then again, I could be biased since they are both trombone players! They also had a son and daughter slightly older than him. Music Man only stayed with us about a month and a half, but he made a strong impact on our family. He's a great kid and was a lot of fun for all of us to have in our family for a while.
I'm a 39 year old Christian mom of 10 kids. I have six girls; Danya age 17, Gloria age 15, Jordan age 15, Brianna age 14, Katie age 8, and our other 8 year old Karyie. My four sons include Michael age 14, Shane age 13, Kevin age 11, and Ryker age 2. I also was a foster mom for about 5 years. In 2009 we adopted two of the 33 kids we've fostered. In April 2012 we adopted three more! I've been happily married to the love of my life, Daniel, for 21 years!
For privacy reasons we cannot post identifying pictures of foster children. That's why their faces are covered or only the backs of their heads are shown. We also give them nicknames to protect their privacy.
The Mini Homeschoolers
Danya and Gloria are "The Mini Homeschoolers" in a series of YouTube videos where they answer questions about homeschooling from a younger perspective. These videos are based on the ones created by two funny homeschooled young men called "Ask the Homeschoolers".
